Dekolonialisierung als Aufgabengebiet an wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken
No full textDas Thema Dekolonialisierung ist in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken im internationalen Raum seit einigen Jahren präsent und findet nun auch langsam in Deutschland immer mehr Anklang. Im Zuge dessen wird sich darüber Gedanken gemacht, wo sich koloniale Strukturen auch an diesen Orten befinden und wie diese verändert werden können. Denn auch die Bibliothek als „Speichersystem des kulturellen Gedächtnisses“ ist vom Kolonialismus nicht verschont. In den Bereichen der Erwerbung, der Klassifikationen und selbstverständlich auch in den Beständen lassen sich Spuren der Kolonialzeit finden. Es existieren bereits viele Handlungsempfehlungen zur Dekolonialisierung, offen bleibt jedoch, inwiefern diese von wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken in Deutschland berücksichtigt und praktisch umgesetzt werden. Eben jener Frage soll in dieser Arbeit nachgegangen werden. Im besonderen Fokus der Untersuchung stehen die Ermittlung der bereits umgesetzten Handlungsmöglichkeiten und Beweggründe für die Umsetzung sowie die Erfassung der Erfahrungen, die im Prozess gemacht wurden
Eine Bibliothek mit Geschichte: Die BnF-Richelieu und ihr neues Museum
No full textvon Alida Sokyte Nach zwölf Jahren wurden die Umbauarbeiten an der Site Richelieu-Louvois der Bibliothèque nationale de France diesen September abgeschlossen – fast pünktlich zum 300-jährigen Bestehen dieses Standorts. Denn bereits 1721 zog die damals noch königliche Bibliothek in den ehemaligen Palast Kardinal Mazarins ein. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch die Organisation der Sammlung in verschiedene Abteilungen, die ähnlich auch noch heute so zu finden sind. Bis zur Eröffnung der neuen Bibli..
The thermal physiology of the ruminant fetus

This volume contains 26 chapters in sections on regulation of feed intake, rumen microbiology and fermentation, nutrient absorption and splanchnic metabolism, tissue maintenance and utilization of endogenous body reserves, tissue growth, reproduction, pregnancy and lactation, ruminant physiology and genetics, and host resistance to parasites and pathogens. The chapters are the plenary papers presented at the IX International Symposium on Ruminant Physiology in Pretoria, South Africa during October 1999.
This chapter discusses the fetal body temperature homeostasis, feto-maternal thermal relationship, birth-related changes in body temperatures, and preterm labour and abortion in ewes.book chapterPublished
Mapping an Atlantic world: circa 1500/ Alida C. Metcalf.
No full text"The year 1500, Metcalf argues, was a turning point in Europeans' understanding of their world in relation to the Atlantic Ocean. In the sixteenth century, cartographers began to conceptualize-and present to the public-an interconnected Atlantic World that was open and navigable, in contrast with the mysterious ocean that had blocked off the Western hemisphere before Columbus. The author contends that early modern cartographers were significant agents in the intellectual history of the Atlantic World"--The Atlantic Ocean on the periphery -- 1500 -- Chartmakers -- The fourth part of the world -- Parrots and trees -- The cannibalist scene.1 online resourc

Young Children's Opportunities towards Development and Attachment at an Orphanage in Uganda
No full textAuthor: Alida Karlman and Emma Jonerud Title: Young Children's Opportunities towards Development and Attachment at an Orphanage in Uganda Supervisor: Bodil Rasmusson Assesor: Malin Arvidson This study was performed at the orphanage Sanyu Babies Home in the capital city Kampala of Uganda and became possible with the financial support through the Minor Field Study (MFS) scholarship from SIDA. The purpose of the study was to view how the employees promoted children’s attachment and development with the existing conditions at the orphanage. We used a qualitative approach in the form of semi-structured interviews as well as participant observations. Two different types of sampling were used, convenience sampling for the orphanage and purposive sampling for the employees. The theories we applied on the analysis was Maslow’s Hierarchy, Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory and The Attachment theory. In our conclusion we recognized deficiencies in the employee’s fulfillment of the children’s needs due to lack of knowledge as well as limited resources. The methods used at the orphanage were influenced by cultural values instead of evidence-based knowledge. Additionally, the extensive use of corporal punishment and special treatment affected the children’s ability to develop and attach. Although, the desire to love and care for all the children were still present. Key words: Orphanage, Uganda, Children's development, Attachment, Cultural aspects
The fetus and fever
No full textThe fetus is thermally clamped to its mother, and susceptible to infectious agents arising in maternal or amniotic tissue. We review the consequences of maternal fever and infection for the fetus. Possible consequences include noxious fetal hyperthermia, cytokine-induced damage to tissues and premature labour or abortion.

Combining green-blue-grey infrastructure for flood mitigation and enhancement of co-benefits
No full textAn increment of urban flood risk in many areas around the globe is expected. Thus appropriate flood risk management is crucial. Although strong evidence exists demonstrating that green-blue infrastructure is a sustainable solution to reduce flooding, its adoption is still slow. The objective of this research is to help decision-makers to adopt adaptation strategies to cope with flood risk while achieving other benefits. This work contributes to enhance planning processes for flood mitigation combining green-blue-grey measures. It provides tools and knowledge to facilitate holistic decision-making, in order to ensure safe and liveable urban spaces for current and future conditions.Dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Board for Doctorates of Delft University of Technology and of the Academic Board of IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.BT/Environmental Biotechnolog
